Sidcot School · Somerset
Project
A contemporary public face for Sidcot School, bringing Art, Drama and Music together in a dynamic, fully accessible teaching and performance environment.
The Creative and Performing Arts Centre brings Sidcot School’s Art, Drama and Music departments together over two storeys, with generous circulation spaces designed to double as areas for display and performance. A distinct public entrance allows the building to support exhibitions and community use independently from the wider school.
The accommodation includes dedicated drama and music performance spaces for audiences of around 100, music practice rooms, six art studios, a kiln room, classrooms, a recording studio, offices and supporting facilities. The environmental strategy combines a highly insulated envelope, controlled natural light, acoustically attenuated passive ventilation linked to CO₂ monitoring and air-source heat pumps serving underfloor heating.
